Is there a stairwell to go down to the casino or near the entrance from the parking garage? Pretty much always looking to avoid the type of elevator lines MD Live suffers from if I can (and get a little exercise)

Without spending more than a half second in thought I can list Borgata, Foxwoods, and Mohegan Sun.

It is what the market ultimately decides as all of FL I believe is $2 and Live! set the $2 bar early on as this mid-Atlantic market developed.

So if by "that would be enough to make me play elsewhere, given the option" you meant traveling to "Borgata, Foxwoods, and Mohegan Sun," your post makes sense and you should travel to those other places to have a $1 BBJ drop.

Just came from mlife desk, they matched my borgata black card to mlife gold. I asked the lady if they're matching anything else and she told me no. But I heard on the floor you can contact a host to see what they can do.

did you already have a mlife card or brand new?

horseshoe matched md live's black card but only if you were brand new to total rewards.
(thats what they told me as to why they wouldn't match my black card )

That would also essentially mean anyone with a cesaers diamond could match also because borgata matches diamond with black label. Then you could match black label to m life

read that they only have video poker at bars and horrible pay tables.
none on the floor.

that means the dc area is still a vp wasteland

If this is true, that's absurd. I thought Horseshoe was bad having only a handful of 10-handed games. I guess I'll be going elsewhere. I'm not going to go to MGM solely to play poker, particularly when I can rack up TC's at the Shoe . . .

this is really strange no? I see VP all over Vegas but they completely ignore it in this area? Not gonna lie, vp was my plan to build teir points at MGM since poker doesn't do anything for it.

Exactly. Exactly. I'm gonna head over in a few hours. If true, it's likely a deal breaker for me, which would be a shame, because I've been looking forward to making this my new home for a long, long time.

If you're coming dress like you're going to be playing outside. It's that cold. Massive, massive design flaw with the doors opening directly to the outside with no buffer room in between.

Hey Ten Second Tom, didn't you already post about this?

Consider that today is the coldest day of the year so far. Also, in combination with a full casino during opening, I bet the casino heat is turned down relatively low.

I find that in most poker rooms around the world, you are generally responsible for self regulating your comfort temperature due to a wide range of personal preference. Please tell me you were not wearing a short sleeve shirt with no backup (jacket or sweatshirt).

I reserve the right to retract this condescending post if I visit the room and it is indeed like playing outside.

VP is nowhere near a priority for most casinos. The big ones in Vegas also. You'll mainly see crap payouts, if you even see them. No surprises here.

True enough, VP may not be a priority for casinos, but to not have ANY? Name another casino that has made that decision. That alone makes it surprising.

MGM will likely fill its floor with people donking slots, and be fine with it. But they will have lost me as a customer (an MLIFE Platinum) with this decision. [And, yes, I realize they couldn't care less about losing me . . .]
